TRANSFER NEWS

'I thought we'd only have seven players at Burton'

Leicester City boss rounded up the transfer speculation for fans after last night’s defeat to Burton at the Pirelli Stadium.

The main item of interest was confirmation that there had been a bid rejected for Tom Lawrence - but this was ‘a while ago’.

There was nothing to add on Danny Drinkwater, Demarai Gray, Riyad Mahrez and Kelechi Iheanacho.

He then joked: “I was driving home last night (Monday), thinking I was coming to Burton with only seven or eight players. I am hearing that Demarai is going somewhere, I’m hearing Drinky is going somewhere, I’m hearing Tom Lawrence is going somewhere.”

Player ratings for the defeat at Burton

The defeat at Burton was disappointing for Leicester City - but there were a few performances that caught the eye of our reporting team at the Pirelli Stadium.

Matty James, Demarai Gray, Harry Maguire and Riyad Mahrez all scored well in our player ratings. However, one player did not impress our team - nor his manager Craig Shakespeare. Read the full ratings.

ANALYSIS

It's a story of wasted chances in Burton defeat

Leicester City’s pre-season has not been going well in terms of results - the defeat at Burton was the second to a Championship side in four days.

There were a series of wasted chances after City went 2-0 down before the break, with substitute Harry Maguire pulling one back in the second half as more chances went begging.

Of course on Saturday, City lost 1-0 at Wolves. At least, we got a goal this time!
